Thermal Wrap - an easy to handle aerogel fabric blanket delivered in rolls that provide multiple options for rapid and automated installation in various applications. The wrap is compressible and conformable, without sacrificing tensile strength and resilience (Figure 38.9).

Another style of DLs using PAN fibers was presented by Glora et al. [20]. They developed carbon aerogel sheets, which were then used as diffusion layers in PEMFCs. In order to fabricate these DLs, resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) aerogels... 

The sol-gel process involves the transition of a system from a liquid "sol" (mostly colloidal) into a solid "gel" phase (11). By applying this methodology, it is possible to fabricate ceramic or glass materials in a wide variety of forms ultrafine or spherical-shaped powders, thin film coatings, ceramic fibers, microporous inorganic membranes, monolithic ceramics and glasses, or extremely porous aerogel materials. 

The NC synthesis was performed using an approach of Ref. [12]. These synthetic conditions were found to be optimal for preparation of CdTe NCs with a photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield of 40-60%. A Critical point drier (Spi Supplies) was used for the fabrication of aerogels.
